If you only take one supplement it should be Vit D3: Vit D3 increases your bodies ability to make healthy cells, this means it boost your immune system, it supports every organ in your whole body!! It decreases your risk of Cancer, Heart Attack, Multiple sclerosis. Every single cell uses Vit D3. It is extremely detrimental if your body is low.
Take your vitamin D3 daily and don't miss a day.
A study of 3,299 persons has shown that those with higher levels of vitamin D cut their risk of dying from cancer in half. (1)
How much is enough?
Harvard medical says you need at least 1/2 hour a day in the sun (but that is rarely possible), so the next best is to take 5000ius a day for an adult if and ONLY IF your vitamin D3 levels are already between 80-100ngs.
You need to TEST where you and your families levels are at every year and optimally 2 x a year. If you do not know your levels it is extremely dangerous for you and your family.
If you do not know about blood analysis testing please ask Dr. Mike it is hands down the most in depth analysis of what is happening in your body you have most likely ever had.

Your nervous system controls every aspect of the body. Movement must happen between the brain and body for you to have a healthy body. This is exactly why the chiropractic adjustment exists. It removes immobility in the spine and allows the brain to communicate/understand what is happening in that region, allowing health to exist. Without mobility the body operates sub-optimally and symptoms show up. This is why patients arrive at precision spine and wellness clinic. they want to feel better. The chiropractic adjustment is specific and powerful. To see results you must be consistent with your chiropractic care, one adjustment is only one adjustment. A great analogy that a lot of people understand is when compared to diet, if you eat one healthy meal you are not healthy, it takes consistency. Years of healthy meals lead to a healthy body. Health as a whole takes balance and consistency, then health has the best potential to exist in your body.
Be consistent and reap the rewards of lifetime health.

Seven Warning Signs That You're Eating Too Much Sugar.
Insulin resistance is a situation where your insulin receptors begin to resist insulin. As insulin resistance progresses, it turns into pre-diabetes and diabetes.
If you can address insulin resistance early, you can help reduce your risk of pre-diabetes and diabetes. However, doctors rarely test for insulin resistance. This test is known as HOMA-IR.At least 33% of the population has insulin resistance—most don’t know about it.

What causes insulin resistance? It’s caused by high insulin, which is caused by high carb and sugar consumption.The AMA recommends no more than 6-9 tsp of added sugar daily. However, most adults consume at least 9 tsp of sugar per day. The average teenager consumes around 18.5 tsp of added sugar each day.
All carbohydrates turn into sugar, with the exception of fiber. With that in mind, when you include sugar from carbs, the average person consumes over half a pound of sugar daily.

It’s important to spot these warning signs you’re eating too much sugar, so you can change your diet and minimize your risk of type 2 diabetes.

These are the seven warning signs you’re eating too much sugar:

1. Frequent urination

2. Excess thirst and dry mouth

3. Hunger between meals

4. Blurred vision

5. Irritability

6. Fatigue—even after sleep

7. Ge***al itching

Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting are the best things you can do to avoid sugar, curb cravings, and minimize your risk of insulin resistance.

I am going to talk about three easy steps you can use to fix sciatic nerve pain.What is sciatica? Sciatica is pain that travels from your lower back down the back of one leg.90% of the time, sciatica pain is due to a problem with a spinal disk.The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body. It runs from your lower back to the bottom of your foot.
Before you use these three steps to help get rid of sciatic nerve pain, rate your pain from 1 to 10. You’ll rate your pain again after you're finished.

Here’s what you’ll need the following things:

• A foam roller OR a towel to roll up

• A tennis ball OR someone who can lend a hand

Try these three steps for getting rid of sciatica.

Step 1: reestablish the curve in your lower back

Sitting too long can cause your natural lower back curve to straighten out. Reestablishing this curve is important for getting rid of sciatica.

Simply take your foam roller or towel and lay on it with it under your lower back for five minutes, twice a day.

Step 2: Stimulate the opposing sciatic nerve

Never stimulate the side of the nerve that is causing you pain. If you have pain on your right side, massage the left side.
If you don’t have someone to help massage the back of your leg, use a tennis ball under your leg while sitting or laying.

Step 3: Stretch the quad muscle on the same side you have sciatica

You want to stretch your quadriceps on the same side you have pain. You can do this by holding one leg up with your hand while holding onto the back of a chair or other solid object.

It’s crucial to be strong and perform well in your day-to-day, but it can also take a toll on you if you don't get the right balance between rest days. It's even more important for those people who are not repairing when they sleep at night because their next workout shouldn't involve heavy lifting or try crushing themselves with another intense work out. Here 3 things that may help boost fitness, strength performance:
1) Get 8 hours of high quality sleep per night - no less! Remember this will change your recovery time as well as life too;
2) Drink an adequate amount of water according to weight (i would say 40% bodyweight is about enough); add some electrolytes I love for my training and races.
3) Remove unhealthy items from your daily food regimen. The human body needs fuel and less irritants and it will thrive.
Remove gluten, dairy, processed foods, coffee, and added sugars to decrease inflammation in the body. Especially if you’re training for a specific fitness event of some kind.
If you need more specificity which I’m sure you do this is a excellent baseline to start with your daily repair.
Strength and performance comes from consistency and repeatability with the basics.

Vitamin D is the reason why your DNA in every single cell in your body divides and is also the reason it stops dividing (cancer). We normally would get it from the sun but we have been under clothes, in a car, house, or in a building for most of our life. Naturally we are all deficient unless you take vitamin d on a regular basis or are outside “mostly” naked the majority of the day, to get adequate levels of vitamin D. Otherwise there’s no other major source in our environment. So take it if you truly are concerned about your health. You’ll thank me when everyone around you is sick and you’re not.

Elbow Problems and The Fix.

Common Symptoms or Scenarios of a Elbow Problem.
Hand numbness.
Neck, Shoulder, or Wrist Pain.

Part 1: Toxins, Traumas, Thoughts
Our thoughts, mindset, and mental health can affect our physical health. In chiropractic, we talk about how the quality of our thoughts affect the body’s ability to adapt to life, the environment, and our health. If our adaptability is reduced due to stress, this can make it harder to function optimally day to day.
When we have stressful thoughts, we may experience this as anxiety or excessive worry. We may start to see this affecting our sleep, our digestive system, and have more tension in the body, specifically our neck and upper back.
Thankfully chiropractic is one way to reduce stress on our system.
See our story for helpful breathing and meditation to help reduce stress on our system!

So what do you think?
Good or Bad?
Coffee is deemed mostly harmless via peoples words and emotions about drinking it first thing in the morning. (I love my coffee, especially in the morning) but coffee does contain molds, in most brands as coffee roasters don’t test for it. So it you’re sick, fighting something, or have a autoimmune disease, coffee should be avoided unless you’re drinking coffee from a roaster that tests for mold.
Anything that goes in your body you need to know what is in it before consuming it, your organs must stay as clean as possible. There are so many chemicals in our environment today that we need to watch out for, closer than ever before. It’s inevitable in modern day to not get any toxins in your body but the less of them you get in your body the better.
FYI : coffee you drink from stores, gas stations, most coffee shops are filled full of toxins, pesticides, herbicides etc. not to mention the Styrofoam cups and plastic lids people drink from.
Drink UP! but know what you’re drinking every morning.

5 tasks to be healthy every day of your life.
1. Drink more water but add electrolytes most people do not take in electrolytes so they do not properly hydrate their body.
2. Increase your heart rate for 45 mins daily. It DOES matter what you choose but gosh it’s important for a healthy body now and as you age. Remember all movement is not equal, it depends on the individual. Movement is LIFE.
3. Take vitamin D. Everyone, everyone, everyone. Children: 1000 iu per day. Adults: 5-10k per day. Your immune system will thank me 🙂
4. Sleep!!! 8 hours per day. Rest and repair and repeat.
5. Get adjusted regularly. Not saying this because Precision Spine and Wellness Clinic was founded by chiropractor but it’s shown to benefit you greatly through out your life.
So many more I could post but more will come later 🙂

Heart Attack or Rib Pain ?
About 2 times a month we have patients come in the clinic with extremely specific excruciating pain around their rib cage. They mistake this pain for a heart attack which eventually leads them to visit the E.R. . After all the tests come back negative they end up in our practice still in pain needing help. The patient identifies the pain by taking a deep breath or upon inhalation, it persists until the tissue around the rib is mobile again. A pain intense enough to send someone to the emergency room can be relieved with a simple rib adjustment as shown in the picture below. It won’t be 100% relieved with one adjustment but it will be close. If you’ve ever had a rib subluxation you will know it can be resolved quickly. Especially if you are getting adjusted regularly before the rib misplaces and the pain initiates. Though a rib being subluxated is not close to a heart attack the pain is easily a 9/10. Your Chiropractor or Physical Therapist should know what to do if this description fits your symptoms. In the DMV area? Come visit Precision Spine and Wellness Clinic, We have been doing rib adjustments for years 🙂

Real-time brain scans have shown completely different patterns of brain activity when using an electronic device. This altered brain activity closely resembles those patterns typically seen in patients with ADHD, autism, and even Alzheimer’s. Electronic devices also tend to overstimulate the same areas of the brain, which leads to mental fatigue, increased cortisol (stress hormone), forgetfulness, and depression.
